The Nice Girl Trap

Be a COP and police your thoughts

Thoughts to take captive include:

Comparing yourself to others: There will always be someone nicer than you, who does more and never cares if she gets credit. She is beyond thoughtful and everyone loves her. Life is not a competition. Just be your best you.

Opinions of others mattering more than your own: Your opinion of yourself must trump all others. What others think of you is none of your beeswax, it’s colored through the lens of THEIR perspective. You are an interpretation of their experience.

People pleasing: You cannot please everyone. It’s impossible. Some people won’t like you, no matter what. Especially in business, this will make you bankrupt over time if you never raise your rates.
